A short computation shows the derivative of log⁡(tan⁡(x/2))\log(\tan(x/2)) is precisely csc⁡x\csc x, so the numerator is exactly dudu.

Step 1. Differentiate the candidate uu. ddxlog⁡(tan⁡x2)=1tan⁡(x/2)⋅sec⁡2x2⋅12=12sin⁡(x/2)cos⁡(x/2)=1sin⁡x=csc⁡x\dfrac{d}{dx}\log\left(\tan\dfrac x2\right)=\dfrac1{\tan(x/2)}\cdot\sec^2\dfrac x2\cdot\dfrac12=\dfrac1{2\sin(x/2)\cos(x/2)}=\dfrac1{\sin x}=\csc x (using sin⁡x=2sin⁡x2cos⁡x2\sin x=2\sin\frac x2\cos\frac x2).

Step 2. Substitute. Let u=log⁡(tan⁡x2)u=\log\left(\tan\dfrac x2\right), so du=csc⁡x dxdu=\csc x\,dx, exactly the numerator.

Step 3. Integrate. ∫duu=log⁡∣u∣+c\displaystyle\int\dfrac{du}{u}=\log|u|+c. …
